And I almost missed it. I like Reggae a lot, though I don't know it very well. My knowledge of Bob Marley's music is mostly limited to the Legends collection. But his fame did a lot to promote a very solid musical tradition. I would add that No, Woman, No Cry, and Zion Train are among my favorite songs. Marley's Rastafarian religion, combining what looks to be a very loose old testament mythology with a whole lot of marijuana smoke, doesn't make much sense to me; but it provides a powerful context for much of the music. Happy Birthday Bob.
